de Bergerac Epee la Luna - Raku Fired Ceramic Sculpture
Raku Rayguns are one-of-a-kind ceramic sculptures made by West Magoon. They are inspired by alien technology unearthed at a secret UFO crash site, known only to a tribe of Wyoming Hill People. Each raygun is named after a science fiction author, character or device.
This raygun features some gorgeous details including crackled marbles in the scope and the nose and the dry lake-bed texture of the barrel, which is twisted like a narwhal horn.
The Raku Ray Guns are sized for the human hand. This one measures about 17" long by 11" tall. Each Raku Ray Gun comes with a ceramic moon crater plaque wall mount. The gun rests on brass hooks embedded in the plaque which provide a sturdy support. The plaque has an attached wire on the back, for hanging on the wall.
The visual roots that inspire these sculptures include sci-fi magazine covers from the 30's,40's and 50's, the styling cues from 50's automobiles, and design elements from Art Deco and Art Nouveau which contribute to the Steampunk flavor of the Raku Rayguns.
The last photo is the cover of a book by the author that this raygun is an homage to. To learn more please visit this web page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrano_de_Bergerac
